| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Well, as always choose speakers first. The rest is relatively easy. And decide whether you will accept only new equipment or some used would do. And..tubes or transistors or it depends. It does take time and effort to get it right. | |
| Moving a 5,000 vinyl LP collection safely Refrigerated armored truck would do fine, no doubt.Records are not easy to break. | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? Of course not, but there are always cultural influences that might be more articulated at the highest performance level. I would not expect Gryphon to sound like Ypsilon or FM Acoustics or Jadis or Lamm, and not only because of different engineeri... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? German electronics is in fact very diverse, just like Germans themselves. Not familiar with MBL but was surprised with Ralph's comments, I never read anything like that about MBL. It is obvious that their speakers should sound different with tube ... | |

| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers soundsrealaudio and gdhal - exactly.That's why this forum can be so valuable, theoretically. Also, people should be able to write well to describe their impressions in details. | |
| Are you seeing more 9/10s? The same in some discussions. If it sounds good to me or I simply want to grossly exaggerate or lie - that's what is going to be presented. On the other hand, other members maintain the integrity, this does include some dealers and manufacturers a... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? I mean it cannot be fully recorded, I did not say that it cannot be recorded well except big orchestra opera and big choral pieces - this is especially tough.In any case, I believe that amps and wires without gain are already quite good, that is n... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers I'd say I don't need home auditioning for relatively inexpensive set-up, I would not expect much anyway. If dealer's room is good enough I will hear whatever there is to hear. But $20k speakers - yes, definitely home audition unless the dealer's r... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? Ralph, they want to create a classical German sound, and it appears that they succeed. What may be bright to most of us is not bright for those who prefer that. I am not saying that there is no other kind of German sound, there is. | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Microphones cannot 'hear' everything so those designers were right anyway - music can't even be recorded as performed let alone reproduced. And I think this is good. Let the chase continue forever. | |
| Budget MM Phono Cartridge Recommendation Alright, I may try a few one day. | |
| Budget MM Phono Cartridge Recommendation I would like to hear some kind of arguments regarding modern cartridges being crap and vintage ones being great. Personally, I only have limited experience with modern ones, and they are definitely not crap. | |
| Old Virgin or New Virgin I thought JVC vinyl was generally considered the best. | |
| My jazz collection told me to get a *real* system pingvin, out of curiosity, what was that "your sound" system that you heard at the show? High Water Sound deals in esoteric gear. |
